Looks great, Shen.  I need to do the same with my Arthas.  Looking a little worse for the wear.

Thanks Adversarious1, its just a pita to take apart this switch because its got a snap ring, spring, and ball bearings.

Looks good Shen!  I polished up all my Copper and Brass mechs before putting them away... it's amazing how fast they oxidize even when you haven't touched them in months, lol.  I like a "little" patina, especially on Brass, but man, the Copper starts looking rough if you don't keep it shiny ;)

The guy at one of my old local shops actually had a pretty cool little setup for polishing.  He took an old RDA base that couldn't be repaired and welded a broken 1/4" hex wrench to the RDA base where the posts used to be.  The 510 threads were still good.  He would insert the RDA/hex wrench contraption into a drill chuck, screw a mod onto the old RDA base and let the drill do the work for him.  Sadly the shop closed down.  Might talk my brother into doing something similar for me if I ever come across an RDA base that can't be repaired.
